Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory HD: Platinum Trophy Guide (PS3)

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory HD

PS3

Learn the routes on Normal and aim above 80% in every mission. Then clear Expert and keep a Hard file for the death limit. Spreading the requirements helps avoid losing a late run over a single side objective.

The third chapter in PS3's Splinter Cell Classic Trilogy HD. Its 37 trophies are based on the single-player campaign, without co-op requirements.

  • Difficulty: Separate Normal, Hard and Expert clears
  • Rating: Above 80% for Greater Good
  • Deaths on Hard: At most 5 for Makes you feel alive

Normal: build a strong score

Pick the stealth loadout, find secondary objectives and keep alarms out of the areas you cross. Leaving an unconscious guard in plain sight can hurt your rating when a patrol returns. Read the results screen after each mission and fall back to an earlier save if the score does not clear the threshold.

  • Record a score above 80% for each mission.

Complete Normal without medkits

Protect Immune on the same run. Use night vision before entering a room and the OCP to temporarily darken lights and electronics along your route. In Kokubo Sosho, keep a save before the exposed stretches. If you lose health, correct your approach rather than using a medkit.

  • At the Normal ending, check Sentinel, Immune and Greater Good together.

Expert: use the routes you learned

Start a new Expert file and focus on the finish. Use the side routes you already know and observe patrol turns from the shadows before crossing open ground. If you already have Greater Good, leave risky secondary objectives for a replay and work towards extraction.

  • Check BlackOps Specialist at the ending; Expert does not replace Hard.

Hard: preserve the five-death allowance

Start every mission with a clean save and, if the system allows it, keep a separate external copy. A normal reload after death may not clear the counter. If a jump or gunfight is about to end badly, load from the menu before death. Preserve some allowance for Seoul and Bathhouse instead of spending it early.

  • Stay at five recorded deaths or fewer on the Hard file.

Use dedicated saves for opposite choices

Keep separate saves before the decisions involving Morgenholt, Shetland and the pilots. In Seoul, carry both pilots into shelter before calling the air strike for Unsung Hero. For Cold Duty, replay that section without moving them and complete the mission. Check the trophy before reloading.

  • Clean up mutually exclusive choices away from the high-score run.

Frequently asked questions

Can I skip Normal after Expert?

No. The settings do not stack; Normal is also the simplest route for high scores and no medkits.

Can I replay a choice trophy?

Yes. Use saves kept before choices or the completed game's mission select. Preserve those files before starting the next campaign.

Are there co-op trophies?

No. The PS3 HD list is completed through the solo campaign.
